== Cutting power / speeds == ''[http://wiki.nycresistor.com/wiki/Laser_Power NYCR's Laser Power table]'' * Typing paper - 100% speed, 3 milliamps * 2mm acrylic - 25% speed, 8 milliamps * 5/8ths inch acrylic - 1% speed, 12 milliamps, 2 passes * Plastic with metalic coating - 5 - 7 milliamps rastor, 3 ma vector * Linen - 70% speed, 4 milliamps, 1 pass * 1/8β³ plywood: Regulate the current to just a pinch under 15mA and use 3 Passes / 18.75% Speed / 100% power. The reduced speed (25% to 18.75% β a 25% reduction) seems to account for the needed power, while the reduced number of passes (also a 25% and thus proportional reduction) reduces the excess char that is produced by the laser. (figured out by elijah at noisebridge) * "Speedy-cut" rubber - Raster: 15% speed, 3 milliamps, 1 pass. * 1/16 inch basswood, to cut through: 34% speed, 14% power (of 15 milliamps max set on machine), 7 passes * basswood to etch: 20% speed, 10% power (of 15 milliamps max set on machine), 1 pass
